Chapter 201
"Is it an assassination technique, Thousand Threads Concealment?" Qing Tian turned to ask the seemingly listless magician beside him, but the other man remained silent.
"It is indeed the Thousand-Thread Hidden Trap."
“However…” Hong Yueling glanced at the Kuiba figure standing five or six body lengths ahead. The opponent’s usual greatsword was still on his back, but he was holding an ordinary iron sword.
Hong Yueling glanced at the other party's information a few more times before closing the player data box.
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, a message was updated in the world channel:
"Congratulations to players Migenye, Hongyueling, Qingtian, Ling, and Youyou for completing the Demon Spirit Festival - 'Heavenly Prison Ladder Cliff' trial. The team is currently ranked 1st."
Meanwhile, the world channel exploded.
"Our team just started at the Heavenly Prison Ladder Cliff, and someone has already made it through?!"
"They must be from those big unions."
"Wow, guys, our team hasn't even killed all 999 evil spirits yet."
"It really isn't from a guild, isn't that Migenye?"
"I know that I'm considered a small vendor in the secondhand market."
"Hey upstairs, you dare to daydream on the Heavenly Prison Ladder Cliff? Hahahaha, watch out or you'll fall."
"My God, this team is full of pros! I just checked their player profiles, and they were the fourth-ranked team in the last celebration."
"The Bone Refining Guild's team was ranked first just now."
For the past few years, the top spot in the celebration rankings has been monopolized by the "Bone Training Guild" team in Fairnd, but this year there has been a sudden change.
"Wait a minute, there's a newbie in this team, their game account was just registered not long ago...and their gear is pretty good..."
"They even have a burden in the team? This team is amazing."
......
The team members didn't have time to notice the unusual activity on the world channel until they exited the game mode and saved their game, at which point they finally had a chance to speak.
"Brother Ye, that move was amazing!" Qingtian moved closer to Yuan Ye and beckoned to Ying Ning beside him, saying:
"Little Youyou, did you and Brother Ye plan this beforehand?"
"You guys worked together quite well."
Qingtian naturally felt that the two had discussed it beforehand. Now that they had achieved a good ranking, his mood brightened considerably, and he tiptoed to put his arm around Yingning's shoulder:
"Little Youyou, you still want to lie to your brother?"
"Tell me your main account name, I want to check your stats."
"I really don't have a large size, I'm just a newbie." Yingning waved her strong right arm, using the opportunity to speak:
"Besides, wasn't the teamwork just now something you could do simply by hearing the captain's directions?"
"I've always had good hearing."
The innocent boy was not arrogant; on the contrary, he felt it was only natural.
"you..."
"Red Moon Spirit, hurry up and tell me, have you ever seen such an arrogant newcomer?"
"It's making my hands itch to try it."
“I’ve seen it before, there’s one right next to you.” Hong Yueling looked at Yuanye and reminded Qingtian.
Qingtian immediately remembered that when they first met Yuanye, this kid was a new player who had been playing for less than a year. He teamed up with Yuanye and beat them up, then stole the jungle boss.
"And what's more, you're a priest, yet you want to fight a swordsman?" Red Moon Spirit said.
"I still have you, don't I?"
"Don't drag me into this." Hong Yueling dodged Qing Tian's gaze.
"Alright," Qingtian said jokingly.
At this moment, Yuan Ye turned to look at the figure beside him: "Thank you for earlier."
"Your swordsmanship is very accurate."
"It's alright, we're all on the same team," Ying Ning said, putting her iron sword back into storage. "It seems we're already in first place."
"It's just a temporary result; we might not be number one in the end," Yuan Ye said.
The remaining few people had participated in the celebration and knew that the game rankings were not static and could be overtaken by other teams in the next second.
"Brother Ye, how did you know the evil spirit pet would attack with lightning balls?" Qingtian racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how Yuanye knew about the evil spirit pet's skills in advance.
"I don't know, it was just a coincidence."
"I originally planned to trap the evil spirit pet, but who knew it had a hidden skill," Yuan Ye said as he looked through the materials in the warehouse.
For a moment, Qingtian was speechless.
He initially thought it was Ye Ge's brilliant foresight that foresaw the evil spirit pet's skills, but it turned out he just happened to run into the unlucky evil spirit pet.
"Then we really are... lucky."
This first place winner really doesn't have much confidence!
"It's late, I'm logging off now," Zero, who rarely spoke, suddenly said.
"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest." Yuan Ye checked the time, then walked to Ying Ning's side and said:
"I have some materials, but they're not really useful for now."
Yuan Ye clicked the button to give the gift to someone else, selected "Yu You", and said, "I just took a look. Your sword is a top-quality weapon, but the equipment you have right now has some obvious flaws."
"This material should be able to improve the attribute values of your equipment."

The bedroom, designed in a minimalist European style, had its lights already turned off.
The door to the holographic game pod slowly opened, and the young, thin figure stood up, only to find a familiar presence in the dimly lit room.
Upon hearing the noise, the man suddenly spoke up.
"Xiao Ling, you shouldn't be staying out so late."
A tall, slender male figure sat on a soft sofa, with five or six ice cubes in a wine glass in front of him. He bent down, picked up the glass, and took a sip by the moonlight.
The man's shirt buttons had long been undone, and the shirt was now loosely draped over his body.
"You weren't asleep either, were you?" The boy called Xiao Ling straightened his messy pajamas slightly after getting up from the holographic game pod.
Xiao Ling had only taken two steps closer when a hint of frustration appeared in her eyes:
"Brother, don't drink in my room. You reek of alcohol."
"It smells awful."
Upon hearing his younger brother's disapproving words, the man on the sofa didn't show his usual sternness at the company. Instead, he picked up his wine glass and walked over to his brother's side, saying, "You're going to Australia in a few days, so you need to rest more these next few days."
"Once the company's contract is finalized, I'll send you to Australia."
But to his surprise, the other party ignored his plea: "No need for that."
"I can manage to go to school by myself."
"Xiao Ling..."
"elder brother."
"After you finish things at the company, go see a doctor." The boy called Xiao Ling turned around. Under the light, his collarbone was prominent and his cheeks were thin, but it still couldn't hide his handsome appearance.
The signs of illness had long been evident in his body.
However, the person who was clearly more seriously ill was not him.
"Brother, please."
"Go see a doctor."
